F and G form general partnership FG.  Each partner contributes property subject to recourse liabilities.  The fair market value (FMV) and the basis of the property contributed, and the liabilities assumed by FG are as follows:


PartnerAsset                Adjusted Basis  Gross FMV        Debt                Net FMV

F          Building #1       150,000           600,000           300,000           300,000

G          Building #2       250,000           400,000           100,000           300,000


Assume that all liabilities are shared equally by the partners.  How much gain or loss, if any, will be recognized by the partners as a result of their contribution into FG? What is each partner's basis in their partnership interest immediately after formation?
